There is a large picnic bench provided near the BBQ area for each tent.

There’s also an information room on our caravan site which is nearby which you are welcome to make use of.

Yes, we have mains sockets within our Reception for charging mobile phones and other electronic devices.
Other Questions
Q. Do you accept dogs?
Our guests’ enjoyment is our priority. We do welcome dogs. However, we only allow dogs by prior arrangement and only one dog per tent. Our tents are not fully ‘dog proof’ and dogs must be on leads at all times whilst on site. Dogs are not allowed within the bedrooms and must either sleep in a dog cage in the tent or in your car. You will need to bring a dog cage with you. Dogs must NOT be let off the lead in the tents field and cannot be left on site alone at any time. Owners of loose, barking or antisocial dogs may be asked to leave in the interests of ensuring other guests enjoy their stay. No refund will be given.
Q. Where is the nearest shop?
You find 3 convenience stores in the local village of Plean (1.5 miles). There’s also a bakery, a pharmacy and two takeaway food shops. For a greater selection, there is a Co-op and Sainsbury’s in Denny, around 2 miles from Carr’s Hill. A little further away there’s an Asda in Larbert and a Morrison’s this side of Stirling.
Q. Do you take group bookings?
We do accept small group bookings but unfortunately not hen or stag parties. We are above all a family site and are only able to accommodate small groups who want to enjoy our facilities and peaceful rural location.
